Now by the time most of you read this the finals will be over but ... Keller had the slowest split, OBVIOUSLY Phelps (& I'm guessing Lochte) are a done deal ... Vanderkaay put up a 1:46.67 leading off followed by Jayme Cramer's 1:47.97, David Walters 1:47.75 & Keller's 1:48.60 ...
Do you take a total rookie? Slightly more experience with Cramer, or a struggling but veteran Keller? Personally I say give the rookie a shot, who knows what he'll put up next year.
My prediction: Phelps, Lochte, Vanderkaay, & Cramer
I'd like to see ... Phelps, Lochte, Vanderkaay & Walters ...
I totally agree ... you get guys like Shanteu who are the third or fourth ranked IMmer in the world and he doesn't get to compete because Phelps & Locthe are so freakin' dominant ... that doesn't seem quite fair ... of course then why draw the line at three? How about as many swimmers as a country as ranked in the top 5 in an event in the world (or 2)?
